What is "journalizing of transactions"?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 322

Dear Community

I recently got asked about the infolog "This period contains transactions, which have not been journalized yet." and I found the following discussion. So I am asking myself what's the purpose of this function? In my companies the parameter is turned on as well and I would like to turn it off if it's really not needed.

   

Maybe someone can provide further details.

Thanks a lot in advance

Katy

    Hi,

    thanks to journalizing you can report your all voucher to authority with a consecutive serial. We in Turkey need a similar report but use a localization package and do not use standard functions due to some additional requirements. try to ask your accountants for the final decision.

    Regards.

    Hi Katy,

    In my home country - Germany - auditors ask for such journalized records for auditing/validation purposes. With changes in IT technology and tax legislation this is, however, no longer needed. I have not seen a single customer using this 'old' feature in the last 10 years.

    Would recommend that you clarify with your accountants whether you still have specific auditing / recording requirements in regards to journalizing your vouchers.

    If this is not the case then I would not make use of this feature.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
